It's interesting to me how often I see some post on FB denigrating "capitalism", or what they think that means, and the stock market, which I'd opine without exception they don't understand and think stocks are a think only for the wealthy.
And folks view coutries like Sweden as being ones to emulate, because they are "socialist", which they decidedly are not. Most liberals admire how Europe does stuff without knowing how Europe really does stuff. And I personally think Europe does some things better than we do, a few anyway. But the US isn't going to adopt those things. "Progressives" would have us adopt the things that Europe really doesn't do, or barely does.
